The word "village" conjures up a quaint and charming image of a small, tight-knit community where everyone knows and supports each other. 

That's exactly what we're aiming for with the Village of Eastridge.

This 55+ active adult community just southwest of Smyrna, Delaware, features streets meticulously laid out and lined with cozy cottage homes. There's plenty of walking paths winding their way through the neighborhood, passing by trees and ponds and the front doors of friends.

Why should you choose the Village of Eastridge to spend your golden years? Here's a few reasons to steer you toward this great place.

Location, location, location

Here, a balance has been struck between serene suburban life and more exciting pursuits upstate. It's not located on the main road, so there's plenty of peace and quiet for you to enjoy. However, the Village is just five minutes' drive from Route 13, and just a few minutes more to connect to Route 1 - so both the hub of northern Delaware and the beaches are easily accessible.

There's plenty to do closer to home, though, from golf courses to public parks to great local restaurants. And, of course, there's activities within Eastridge itself, which brings us to our next point. . .

Amenities & community

The clubhouse is the centerpiece of the neighborhood. It features a fitness center, room for activities, and plenty of space to lounge. You can spend the warmer days outside on the patio or play games with friends indoors.

Elsewhere in the community are courts for bocce and shuffleboard, as well as a beautiful outdoor gazebo. And running between all of this are spacious sidewalks for you to enjoy with family, friends, or Fido.

Affordable living

Every penny counts as you're heading into your retirement years. That's why Delaware is the perfect place to settle down. No sales tax and low property taxes will save you money so that you can live your golden years to the fullest.

This even applies to buying a home within the Village of Eastridge. We'll work with you to find the best sales incentives and lender opportunities to make sure you can settle down in your dream home.
